Rice is a major cereal crop and a staple food in the majority of developing countries. India is second only to China in rice production. Though nearly 40,000 varieties of rice are said to exist, only a few are widely cultivated, milled, and polished at this time. Even though white rice is consumed by the majority of people worldwide, some specialty rice cultivars are also grown. Colored and aromatic rice varieties are among them. When compared to white rice varieties, specialty rice has a higher nutritional profile. Colored rice is high in phytochemicals and antioxidants because of the deposition of anthocyanin pigments in the bran layer of the grain. Rice bran, an underutilized byproduct of the rice milling industry, is high in dietary fiber and has applications in the development of functional foods and other value-added products. Thus, a greater emphasis on specialty rice and its byproducts will not only save it from extinction, but will also contribute to the country's nutrition security because they are high in vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols
